Every marathoner knows the difference between following a generic plan and training on a schedule built for you. It's not just about your finish time — it's the entire experience. That's exactly what Paceriz does. AI Designs It. You Own It. Every week, the AI generates a complete training schedule based on your goals, current fitness, and workout history. Not a one-size-fits-all template — a plan calculated specifically for you. The new V2 training engine also lets you choose your training methodology: - Norwegian Double Threshold: the high-volume, controlled-intensity approach favored by elite runners - Polarized Training: the proven 80% easy / 20% hard split - Paceriz Smart Mode: dynamically adapts based on your own data 6 Heart Rate Zones. Precision That Actually Matters. Most apps give you 5 heart rate zones. Paceriz uses 6 — Recovery, Easy, Tempo, Threshold, Anaerobic, and Interval. Each zone targets a different training stimulus, so you always know what you're building today. Strength Training, Now Integrated with Running Runners shouldn't only run. Paceriz now supports full strength training schedules: - Add a strength session to any training day or rest day - Edit every exercise freely: name, sets, reps, and weight - Combine strength with a run day and see the full composite session at a glance - Drag to reorder days — your primary workout and strength data are fully preserved, nothing gets lost Your Plan. Your Call. Plans change. Traveling this week? Drag and drop to shift your sessions. Want to adjust your training focus? Edit it directly. Even your warm-up and cool-down distances are customizable. Paceriz puts evidence-based training methods in your pocket — so every week, you move forward at your own pace, not someone else's.
